DUAL DIAMOND RUNNER
Envisioning the future of performance
An exploration of geometric manipulation
CREATION PROCESS
Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS):
a crystalline structure repeated in three-dimensions,
spanning the smallest possible area of its given boundary.
Diamond TPMS:
A surface formed from the summation of trigonometric 'sin' and cos' curves
Diamond = sin(x)sin(y)sin(z)+sin(x)cos(y)cos(z)+cos(x)sin(y)cos(z)+cos(x)sin(y)cos(z)
Mechanical Benefit of Diamond Structures:
Compressive, bending-dominated geometry
Uniform stress distribution
Structural lightweighting
Vibrational Damping
Phase Transitions: manipulation of internal architecture
Controllability over the transition and nature of
open spaces (air) with solid surfaces (wall)
Allows for variations in weight, compressibility, and regional stiffness
Single Phase
Dual Phase
Double Single Phase
Double Dual Phase
Dual Diamond Running Midsole
Grid of air pores across the center of the midsole for cushioning and rebound
Top and bottom regions thicker for greater support and durability
Field Map Texturing
Field Map: A 2D-representation of the structure at a single layer

Upper and Outsole patterned with the 'field map' of the diamond structure
The potential for 3D-printed structures to outperform traditional foam models
surely exists and is only yet to realized
